CHICAGO, May 23, 2023 ~ The 26th annual Sweets & Snacks Expo opened this morning at McCormick Place in Chicago, offering attendees the opportunity to explore the latest confectionery and snack innovations, gain insights from industry experts, and make meaningful connections with thousands of professionals.
